9 <h1>Wifi Jail Breakout Assistant</h1>
15 This application aims to help to make life easier when connecting your Nokia N900 to wifi networks (wlan) that
16 requires you to visit a captive portal page before you can access the Internet.
21 I got tired of not being able to connect easily to networks guarded by a login page, so I created this app to scratch that itch.
22 Nokia doesn't supply this feature and when asked for, it's out of scope for the N900.
25 <h2>How it works and Screenshots</h2>
26 <h3>Connected to network</h3>
28 When you're connected to a "new" network, you get this popup which asks you if you want to launch a browser.
29 Simply press Yes or No to open a new browser window.
30 The next time you connect to that network, the same action will be take (open or not open a browser window),
31 unless you untick the "Remember this decision" checkbox. (You'd get the same popup each time instead.)

35 <h3>Network Settings</h3>
37 If you fire up the configuration/settings GUI (it's called Wifi Assistant and the icon looks like the one at the top this page)
38 you get a list of all the networks we've used and whether to launch a browser or not.
39 You can change the settings by tapping the line you want to change.

44 <h3>Daemon Settings</h3>
46 You can turn the daemon off (kind of) so that it won't show popups. It'll still open a new browser window when you connect to
47 networks where you've selected "Yes" previously.

70 There's no grand bug tracking system setup for this project. If the application doesn't work as expected,
71 feel free to send me an e-mail, or post a message in
72 <a href="https://garage.maemo.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=6070">the forum</a>
73 here at garage.maemo.org.
76 The only real "bug" right now is that network names with spaces in them aren't handled properly (they can't be part of a gconf key).
81 Is available, get it with <code>git clone https://vcs.maemo.org/git/wifi-assistant</code> or

88 To Lisa, Anton and Leia who support me (kind of) while I'm up late etc.
91 A big thanks to Andrew Flegg (Jaffa) - the build files for this application are extremely similar
92 to those used for the excellent anti-blue man syndrome application
